The tombstone of Nathaniel Lockwood, died December 22, 1757, aged 31 years, has both a fine example of a winged soul effigy and is inscribed with the earliest known epitaph found on any gravestone in Greenwich graveyards.
Since Life's uncertain Oft cut down in Prime
Repent nor dare presume on future time
Since Mercy's boundless Let not man despair
Love and Faith in Christ is Saving if Sincere.
